kdesrc-build

Easily build KDE components from its source repositories. More information: https://invent.kde.org/sdk/kdesrc-build.

• Initialize kdesrc-build:

• Compile a KDE component and its dependencies from source:

kdesrc-build {{component_name}}

• Compile a component without updating its local code and without compiling its dependencies:

kdesrc-build --no-src --no-include-dependencies {{component_name}}

• Refresh the build directories before compiling:

kdesrc-build --refresh-build {{component_name}}

• Resume compilation from a specific dependency:

kdesrc-build --resume-from={{dependency_component}} {{component_name}}

• Print full compilation info:

kdesrc-build --debug {{component_name}}

• Build all configured components:

kdesrc-build

• Use system libraries in place of a component if it fails to build:

kdesrc-build --no-stop-on-failure {{component_name}}
